One really good book

This is a really good book. I am on my second copy. This first one walked off. I have been a programmer for over 10 years and though I don't alway use Microsoft C, I still refer to this book often. It is well organized, very concise and contains all the details. I have yet to find a discrepancy. It has quick indexes inside the front and back covers. Front is alphebetical, back is by subject. I've used it so often that I have a lot of the page numbers memorized. Memcpy is on page 249. The only thing else I can recommend about this book is to keep a close eye on it.

Great reference

This do-it-all reference to the more than 500 Microsoft C library functions provides you with the information necessary for excellent programming results. It contains real-world examples for every routine. Each library routine is categorized by func tion and each section is preceded by interactive tutorials so that you can learn C code quickly. Plus, a unique compatibility box approach shows the portability with other versions of C and popular operating systems. Just follow the expert advice one step at a time and you'll write more organized, complete, and powerful C programs.

Fantastic C Reference - A Must

The inside front cover and first page is an alphabetic index of all C functions that are included in the book. The back cover has a list by category: Disk Access, Buffered I/O, Graphics, etc. Each function description tells you what compilers use it, what the prototype is, detailed description of each argument, return value and usage, with examples.

Very good reference of C functions

Lists functions alphabetically and by category. Lists which compiler versions support the function. Describes functions in detail, with examples. Start of each category describes which functions to use for specific tasks.
